Welcome to _dragonball_, the community for fans of Dragonball and Dragonball Z. Created in 1984 by Akira Toriyama, the manga was translated in 1984 to the anime format, spanning 508 episodes and a slew of movies. Countless adventures, multiple deaths, drawn-out battle-sequences, super-powerful badguys, and several planet-eradicating explosions later, Dragonball Z ended in 1996 with a titanic battle between the Gokou-tachi and what appeared to be a renegade (albeit ultra-powerful) wad of chewing gum.

This is a community for fans of the show and manga. One hitch, though. This is for fans of the Japanese format, in all its drawn-out and at times incredibly corny glory. It's also a general fandom community. Pictures, fanart, fanfics, discussions, icons, whatever-your-fancy.

Run an anime (icon or general fandom) community here on LJ and wanna affiliate with _dragonball_? Drop me a line on either the _dragonball_ community, or on my regular LJ, metalsyko, and it's a done deal.
